320-328 Walnut St

Presidio Heights, SF 94118 1008015 3 units · 3 fl · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 320-328 Walnut St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1904
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1904
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 320-328 Walnut Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Koon Fmly Tr, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Built in 1904, the three-story apartment building has seen substantial updates between 2018-2022, including a major facade renovation in 2018 ($40,000) that involved removing non-historic elements, installing new wood double-hung windows, and replacing various structural elements. The building received a new roof in 2019 ($23,700), and more recent work has included electrical upgrades (new subpanel in 2022 and rewiring two units in 2021) and plumbing improvements, such as shower pan installations (2019) and a sewer/housetrap replacement (2021). Earlier violations from 2007 related to fire safety and rear stair maintenance were all abated by January 2008, and while there were some complaints about construction debris and window installations in 2018-2019, these issues were resolved.

The property has maintained active upkeep through various permits and improvements, with recent work suggesting ongoing maintenance of building systems and compliance with current standards. The most recent significant building work includes electrical and plumbing upgrades, while the building's exterior has received attention through various renovations and repairs. The property has experienced several parking-related issues based on recent 311 calls (2024), but these are external to the building itself. A notable withdrawn planning proposal was for alterations and a rear addition to modify unit configurations and improve amenities, though this was not pursued. The only recorded fire incident was a minor water or steam leak with no injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 320-328 Walnut St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
43rdpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
